The Hand That Never Was
The flop comes Q-J-10 in a three-way pot between Matt Brady, Johan Storakers and Brandon Terry. There is little action on the flop and the turn is a king, putting four to a straight on board.
At this point, Terry puts out a small bet of 50,000 to see where his 9-8, the bottom end of a flopped straight, is at in the hand. Storakers, who had flopped broadway with A-K, now min-raises to 100,000. Brady now goes into the tank with his flopped set of jacks, knowing that he's beat but wondering if he should draw to the full house.
Eventually, he realizes that if both opponents have the ace, he'll never see the river without putting in the rest of his stack. Terry lays it down as well and the entire table is stunned that somehow the pot only amounted to just under 200,000. Who knows what would have happened if one had bet their monster on the flop.
Chip Counts:
Johan Storakers - 1,425,000
Allie Prescott - 850,000
Matt Brady - 2,080,000
Brandon Terry - 1,150,000
Jeff Papola - 2,550,000
